    It looks like it's swimming through water. Very organic and elegant. The servos on that thing are butter too, very responsive, and quick. Amazing!

    CP, this was actually filmed at a timed race.
    Next years airship race will take place at the World Air Games in Torino, Italy.

    Hey Flip - das ist sensationell! Schaut fantastisch aus! Schon alleine aus dieser Sequenz laesst sich ein "RC Movie Blockbuster" schneiden! ;-) Glückwunsch zur neuen HD Cam!
  • flip 1 year ago
    ich schneide grade, dauert aber noch ein paar Tage.
    Ich habe immer noch keine passende Luftschiffmusik gefunden ...
  • Nowawes plus 1 year ago
    Also ich wuerde "Underwater Love" von Smoke City nehmen - das passt wie die Faust aufs Auge - Du hast die Assoziation zum "Fisch" und ein bisschen die "technische Kühle" zum Luftschiff. Ich suche mir immer zuerst die Musik heraus, wonach ich dann schneide. Gruß Uwe

    vielleicht findest du eine instrumentale version...
  • Pikku 1 year ago
    Es gibt doch deutsche ausser mir auf Vimeo?
    Wie wäre es mal mit nem German-Channel, so weiss man vll besser wär eventuel mal mit auf Tour kommen würde ;P

    (Achja, Underwater Love würde perfekt passen ;) )

    I have to agree with you. That is the most beautiful airship I have ever seen.

    Outstanding! Are the fins controlling its up and down movement? I saw em moving around but couldn't see much direct effect on pitch, but it's clearly able to rise
    and descend ok.
  • flip 1 year ago
    The ship is very stable in pitch and roll due to a low centre of gravity. So the small fin forces don't really roll or pitch the ship, but since all its weight is carried by the buoyanncy, even a tiny force is enough to climb or descent.

  • it is controlled remotely? i thought has a sensor for the walls and so on automatically : )

    Would be great at burning man... have a bunch of these floating around :)

  • mewse 10 months ago
    You can even make a bunch of them and synchronize them using computer into some sort of dance. Also can use different lighting to make it even more dramatic.
